Baal, Lucifer, Sakhmet, Woden, Minerva, Inanna, Tara, The Morrigan and Amaterasu were all incarnated in 2013 and quickly amassed a lot of fans. One of those fans was Laura Wilson, who attended performances by all the gods. After a performance by Amaterasu, Laura was invited to a post-show interview, where the group was shot at by two mysterious masked gunmen. Lucifer killed them in retaliation, for which she was arrested and put on trial. In the middle of the trial, the judge's head unexpectedly exploded, and Lucifer was believed to be the culprit. However, it was actually Ananke, assisted by Woden. Laura, believing Lucifer to be innocent, teamed up with journalist Cassandra Igarashi to investigate the events surrounding Lucifer's arrest. This involved her visiting the Morrigan and new god Baphomet. The rest of the Pantheon refused to help Lucifer, who eventually escaped from prison in frustration. Events escalated as Lucifer refused to back down, leading to her death at Ananke's hands.

Laura continued to investigate the shooting, now with Inanna's help, and discovered the gunmen were fans. Dionysus and Urdr were unveiled as the final gods, and Urdr was able to identify the shooters as Duncan Ackford and Tom Wilkes. Meanwhile, Ananke manipulated Baphomet into believing he could gain extra years if he killed another god. He attempted to kill Urdr at Ragnarock, but Morrigan stepped in and prevented him from succeeding. He then went after Inanna, and this time was successful. Ananke visited Laura and revealed that she was the thirteenth god, even though this was not supposed to be possible. Laura became Persephone and was immediately murdered by Ananke, or so it seemed. Morrigan was captured by the other gods for her role in Inanna's death and imprisoned in Valhalla. Tara, who was the victim of much online abuse, committed suicide with Ananke's help, and her suicide note was destroyed by Ananke. Persephone was revealed to be alive, and she informed Baphomet, Morrigan and Minerva of Ananke's actions, breaking Morrigan out of Valhalla.
